29 Baby Classes & Playgroups In Singapore 2026

Looking for a bilingual, drop-off or parent-accompanied playgroup near you? Take your bub to one of these organised baby classes so your baby can learn and explore while you meet other parents!

Whether you want to spend some quality time with your baby, meet other parents with similar-aged bubs or want to start their education at a young age, checking out a baby playgroup in Singapore is your best bet. While the newborn phase can definitely feel like a bit of a sleep-deprived blur at times, soon enough, you’ll be itching to get out of the house and do something more than just stare at your adorable munchkin on a play mat. From music and movement baby classes (even newborns like listening to songs!) to swimming and messy play, there are heaps of baby classes and playgroups out there to stimulate babies, where bubs will develop in leaps and bounds in a nurturing, age-appropriate manner.

These enrichment playgroup sessions are usually about an hour long, with some centres offering longer day programmes. There are also options where parents get to sit in with their kids, as well as drop-off playgroups. Note that these are different from ‘Playgroup’ levels in childcare centres (for ages 18 months to 3 years old), which run as half-day or full-day programmes. If you are looking for a childcare centre with Playgroup levels, refer to our comprehensive guide to childcare centres and infant care in Singapore.
